R help - Jun 2004 - Question about mesurating time

Hello , 
Is there any function to mesurate the duration of a procedure (like tic
and toc in matlab) ?

Tic
Source("procedure.R")
Toc

(toc is the duration between the execution of tic and the execution of
toc)

Thank you

help.search("time")

gives

proc.time(base)         Running Time of R
system.time(base)       CPU Time Used

both of which could be used.
